Overpass Light Brigade

Overpass Light Brigade is a short film that tells the story behind Wisconsin's Holders of the Lights, an activist collaborative that grew out of the 2011 Wisconsin protests. Using innovative time-lapse photography and interviews with founding members and other activists, the film showcases OLB's simple, beautiful approach to performance art. Since OLB's inception, dozens of affiliations have sprung up across the nation focusing on a range of causes, from environmental protections to marriage equality and more.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund, and a grant from the Wells Fargo Foundation.
